As you’re planning your budget for next year, here’s something to think about: a tool that could save time, cut down on waste, and help improve your crop yields. It’s a fresh approach to a challenge every farmer deals with, offering benefits for both your fields and your finances. Kurt Grimm, CEO of NutraDrip Irrigation Systems, is sharing how their system transforms manure into a liquid form that works safely and efficiently with drip irrigation.

“This technology removes particles down to 25 microns, creating a liquid without solids that could clog irrigation systems,” Grimm says. Traditional separation methods like slope screens or screw presses leave behind smaller particles that can cause issues during irrigation. By filtering out these small solids, farmers can use manure for fertigation with fewer obstacles.

The filtered liquid retains most of the nitrogen and potassium while reducing phosphorus levels, depending on farm-specific factors like feed rations. Grimm notes that this solution allows farmers to apply nutrients during the growing season when plants need them most. “It’s about feeding the crop when it’s hungry,” he says.
